The Thyla’s roar can scare Dire Wolves use this to you advantage

All that’s needed is to spot it, get a grappling hook, and a parachute, (just for good measure in the case you remove it) and pelt away at the Thyla! Tamed a level 7, 35, and 67 today using this method.

They’ll hit you through your shield when you’re pinned so don’t even bother putting it up. Your best bet which has worked wonders for me is immediately switching to your machete and start swinging the moment you get knocked out of your flyer

Literally a decent crossbow, sword, or spear will get you out of this situation under lvl 90. Just attack when you get hit don't sit there and die.

Dispite how effective these things ambush is, it abides by a few simple rules that allows you to dodge a thylacoleo attack.

1. Wild thylos in ambush position have no gravity. When a wild thylo jumps at you it can go forever at a constant speed and can even jump at things flying above it. When a thylo is tamed it cannot do this and will eventually fall to the ground. Flying away in the same direction that the thylo is jumping is not an option as this zero gravity affect will last until you are out of range of the thylo.

2. Thylacoleos lead their targets. If you are moving fast through a thylo's targeting range it will jump ahead of you to compensate for the time it takes for them to get to you.

3. Thylacoleos cannot change speed or direction of a jump. The only movement a thylo can make while airborn is a rotation. Since it leads targets, stopping as soon as you hear a thylo causes it to miss as it plummets to the location it thought you would go to. This wont work if your tame is slow.

4. Thylacoleos prioritize the closest prey in this order: player/small wild dino, small tamed dino, passenger. Sitting in the passenger seat of a dino won't usually help as the thylo can rip the mount from under you and target it instead.

5. Thylacoleos can share trees. It is rare but thylacoleos can be in the same tree or in adjacent trees. This is the worst thing to happen to you in a redwood forrest as both thylos can jump at you, one snagging you and the other grabbing your tame. That being said, if one jumps at you don't relax because there could be another one close by.

6. Thylacoleos will only be in ambush position on the bark parts of large redwood trees. You will never see a thylacoleo climb a tree or ambush you from the leaves of a tree. They will also only climb a tree when out of render distance.

With these rules in mind: if you have a slower tame, a thylo will not lead enough where you can dodge it. Have your flyer on passive and come back to collect it. If your tame is relatively fast you can dodge it by flying out of its path (under, over, strafe). Make sure to not fly directly at trees so that they don't have a straight shot to you. Any land based tames have on neutral and be sure they can kill a thylo in two hits or so.

Stay safe.

Theese things are actually marsupials.

These guys are literally the Kapros of the trees 😭Though I hate them less because I adore them as tames

Its my favorite creature in ark bec it has great heath, stam, melee and weight it can climb mountains and its fast so its a great mount

If you're ever strolling through redwoods, make sure you're dinosaur is on aggressive so they can attack the Thyla. And if your emotionally attached to your shoulder mount like I was, make sure it's on passive flee to it can run away.

Breeding: Babies can and will climb trees. Dont lose them! Plan safe pregnancies! XD

The Thyla is a powerful mount that can run up cliffs and trees and leap down on once you have tamed one they will be one of your best dinos and your forever friend

Awesome for a Attacker, They do bleed now! It’s definitely worth the try to tame one.

So after hearing about things in the redwoods that take you off your mount I went flying about for literally days with no issue what so ever, I’m thinking what’s the big deal? I start hunting for some prime meat and hide to take back to base in time for imprinting and suddenly out of nowhere I’m flying backwards off my argent and am chomped by this guy, lvl 10, I fight back and get released, I am lvl 98, tho I’m quickly killed before I can draw my mastercraft crossbow. My only imprinted bird and my xbow are now with my corpse near the edge of the redwood. My lvl 220 spino munched the tree hugger and I got my bird back after a second trip back to search. Moral of the story, these guys are legit savage and need be tamed ASAP

make sure to take lots of narcotics!!!! i had to make mortar and pestles and pick berries on the spot so my lvl 145 didn’t wake up.. not fun. barely cut it and got it tamed at 30 torpor

Thylo is in Fjordur! Be aware!

they are too op I killed 2 lvl 35-100 bronto and my thyla was ok did not even get bloody I named him jumpy but while I was afk on multi-player this mother****ker killed him. 1 like 1 rip to jumpy

The new Argentavis can now pick these up

Rip cole the valiant brave and loving thyla that protected his friend till the end 😭😭😢😢😢 these were coles final words

u are the best friend a thyla could ask for I love u owner goodbye

RIP cole

I don’t care how many narcotics you made

ITS NOT ENOUGH DAMMIT!!!!

One of the best mounts in the game. Can Run, Jump, Climb, and with a little lag it can even fly. In all seriousness, this is my favorite mount and always one of my first tamed. It’s an amazing combat mount that can easily run from anything it can’t kill.
